Chapter 757: Secret Warehouse (2/2)

Things like treasure maps could only fool naive kids. Not to mention whether there really were treasures here, even if there were, what was the use of merely knowing the place? Andruil’s secret treasury contained a wisp of his remnant will which had sent him thousands of kilometers away to prevent people from hunting him down. If someone else had made his way into the treasury, what awaited him might not be Spatial Flash but, instead, a Shot of Inception.

Additionally, Qianye didn’t feel like this distasteful Robert would be able to find a proper treasure.

Robert trembled. “The markings on this map show the two secret warehouses belonging to the Moonlight Demons, both of them are first-class stashes. This is a piece of intelligence I obtained while chasing down a deserter, but I don’t have the ability to take them. If you give this map to the Spider Emperor, the Wolf King, or even Su Dingqian, you’ll definitely gain a handsome reward.”

“Now that’s more reasonable.” Qianye nodded in secret. It was just that robbing the Moonlight Demon’s secret warehouse occurred only as a passing thought. Once compromised, he would become the target of an endless hunt.

“What are you here for?”

Robert answered at lightning speed. His mission here was to gather intelligence and hunt the experts of Port City in passing. As a core power of the Moonlight Demons, Robert’s strength was fairly impressive. With his first-rank viscount power, he had killed many experts of the same level and had even assassinated a count once.

Being a vampire count himself, Qianye knew the intrinsic difference between a viscount and a count. It was no simple matter to kill an enemy above one’s level.

Robert was even confident about escaping from the vice-commander of the city guard. He felt that he was safe as long as he didn’t run into the commander and Su Dingqian. He had never imagined that he would encounter someone like Qianye who could disable all his abilities with a single wisp of blood energy.

Qianye interrogated him thoroughly until there was nothing left to learn. Someone of Robert’s position didn’t know that much, either.

Afterward, Qianye searched him from head to toe and found that his total fortune was quite impressive. The man was much wealthier than a vampire viscount from the Evernight side. It would seem assassination was a lucrative business here.

An exquisite little lacquerware box caught Qianye’s attention. There was an ancient scent coming from it that Qianye found rather familiar.

His expression turned frosty the moment he unlocked the box and opened it.

Within the lacquerware box was the foot of a human girl. Its outlines were fairly slim and elegant, likely belonging to a beautiful owner. Yet, it had become part of a collection in this box, and Qianye could even see the tooth marks on her ankle.

“This is from a blood feast?”

Robert was shocked. “You know about blood feasts? The feast was of fairly high standards and the main dish was unprecedented in her beauty. I had to leave for this mission, so I packed a snack with me. She was so beautiful that I couldn’t bear to enjoy her yet. Sire, might you be interested in it?”

As Robert saw it, Qianye was also a vampire and one of a powerful bloodline. Few vampires in the neutral lands were interested in blood feasts but it wasn’t too rare, either. If Qianye was interested, his chances of survival would increase greatly.

“I’m interested in you,” Qianye said coldly. At the same time, his vampiric blade plunged into Robert’s blood core.

“Sire, you…” Robert wasn’t expecting this outcome. His voice became empty as his entire body slumped down. After having his blood essence sucked away by the vampiric blade, he could no longer suppress Qianye’s blood energy, and his body soon broke down into a rotten puddle.

Qianye tossed the “snack” to one side with a snort, and then went through Robert’s things once more. In addition to the belongings worth tens of thousands of gold coins, the most valuable item he had on him was that gunblade.

Afterward, Qianye left the place in due haste and went toward a different battlefield.

Along the way, Qianye found the situation to be somewhat odd. Be it the Crystal Spider’s scouting unit, the Wolf King’s hunting party, or Robert, all of them had different objectives. It didn’t look like they were here solely for war. Moreover, the treatment he was receiving from Su Dingqian was almost as good as when he was back in the empire.

At this moment, Port City’s doors were still open to all people moving in and out. The city walls made no difference whether they were there or not. It couldn’t serve as part of the city defense—only a symbol of law and order.

The roar of engines echoed across the wilderness as a motorcade drove in from the distance, kicking up clouds of sand dozens of meters tall. The guards at the city gates became delighted upon seeing the insignia on the distant vehicles. “Second Young Master has returned! Inform the captain!”
